Healthy Society
New Digital Society
We live in the information age. This presents unimaginable opportunities, but it also poses a range of new dangers to individuals and organizations. Threats that have an erosive influence on the fundamentals of our society, economy and democracy. Think of cybercrime, privacy violations and fake news.
Healthy Society
Our challenge is to put people at the centre of an increasingly digital society. We believe that a healthy society requires a stronger focus on human-centred technology. To that end, we are at the forefront of pioneering digital solutions. Together, we shape a New Digital Society.
Companies, research institutes and participating governments working together in the New Digital Society ecosystem are at the forefront of digital innovation. This includes sectors such as EdTech, immersive technology, media, trust and games.
Crossing borders
We invite foreign companies to work with us on technology that leads to positive behavioural change. Think of the development of decentralised data storage and management with data vaults that empower individuals by giving them control over their personal data. Or honest, fact-based news provision, where filter bubbles and fake news are counteracted and trust in news from citizens is restored. And through EdTech, which helps facilitate the ongoing need for personalised and efficient ways of learning.
In addition, ROM Utrecht Region stimulates crossovers within and across ecosystems. Think of immersive technology and Web 3.0, solutions that other industries benefit from. ROM Utrecht Region strives for an innovative tech landscape in which parties work together on a digital society where everyone can participate and contribute safely, in the Netherlands, in Europe and around the world.
